Syntax: show sntp status
The following table describes the information displayed by the show sntp status command.
Setting the system clock
In addition to SNTP support, Dell PowerConnect switches and routers also allow you to set the
system time counter. The time counter setting is not retained across power cycles and is not
automatically synchronized with an SNTP server. The counter merely starts the system time and
date clock with the time and date you specify.
NOTE
You can synchronize the time counter with your SNTP server time by entering the sntp sync
command from the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI.
NOTE
Unless you identify an SNTP server for the system time and date, you will need to re-enter the time
and date following each reboot.
For more details about SNTP, refer to “Specifying a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server” on
page 23.
To set the system time and date to 10:15:05 on October 15, 2003, enter the following command.
PowerConnect# clock set 10:15:05 10-15-2003
Syntax: [no] clock set <hh:mm:ss> <mm-dd-yy> | <mm-dd-yyyy>
